Tardy in obeying a command by two unknown highwaymen to "stick ‘em up", J. W. Carter, 61, service station operator and grocery man on the Reidsville-Leaksville highway, 12 miles northwest of Reidsville, was shot and killed last night at his station. The highwaymen escaped but failed to take anything with them. Mrs. Carter, who was preparing to retire in an adjoining room gave the alarm, but her husband was dead before help could be summoned. Carter was alone in the front room of his combination service station-dwelling, when the bandits entered. Mrs. Carter said she ran into the front room immediately after the shots, but the bandits were already jumping into a waiting automobile and she did not see them well enough to give descriptions of them. Carter was shot seven times. He is survived by his wife, and 10-year-old daughter. Two brothers and a sister living in Greensboro, and one brother from Danville. Funeral services will be held this afternoon.
